So I did my normal weekly water change the other day and the water parameters are identical both before and after the water change from all my normal water changes prior to this one. That said, my smallest temensis, which is probably 26"-28" in length has started to get extremely aggressive since the change. The interesting thing is my three temensis (smallest is the one in mentioned and the biggest is 30"+ easy) have been gentile giants their entire lives. They have not bickered with any of the other bass at all. My orinos and the kelberi are the ones always fighting with the others. I don't know what happened or why he is all of a sudden in a bad mood, but he is a very very dark almost black color and all the other bass he is keeping on the far ends of the tank. He is showing no aggression towards the other two temensis, my rays, catfish or pike. Any ideas what is going on? He is eating like normal as well so I don't think he is under any stress.

Water change might have caused him to go in to breeding mode. IIRC they usually breed after a rain which can be simulated by a water change
